Moderate Republican and Independent Voters stand up and demand that the Republican Party become a respectable Party again so we have more than one Party that represents us all.

Too much non-Maine organizations' and PAC money is being spent on our airwaves to manipulate and overshadow Mainers' campaigns with focus on their real issues such as economic recovery not divisive social issues.

I am trying to get my loan adjusted with Wells Fargo, and I like millions of other folks we are outside the existing Bank Settlement agreement the government gave the 5 major banks. I would like to request a special review board to be assigned to our cases as the limit placed on the loan mortgage amount ($729,000) eligible for mandatory loan modification Settlements does not reflect the badly inflated pre 2005 housing costs in areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco. Millions of us have no rights nor hope of being assisted with our mortgages in an honest manner. It is not fair. Wells Fargo is being very deceptive in assisting me with my payment challenges, including refusing to disclose the penalties and court costs on my loan, only communicating by phone and lying about what I said in letters subsequently sent to me. All 5 banks (B of A, Wells Fargo, Citibank, Chase, Ally Financial) should to be held accountable to make reasonable loan adjustments for this group of mortgages. We desperately need protection rights and a watch dog group to help us.

Let us ask President Obama to assure us of his firm commitment to arrest the decline of integrity and productivity in the U.S. financial sector by promising to appoint Paul Krugman as Secretary of the Treasury in his next Administration. To convince Americans he intends to end the drain of U.S. taxpayers' money and citizens' economic welfare through the unregulated avarice and self-dealing of the U.S.banking and investment sector the President must drive the foxes out of the chicken coop. Unless we can be assured that the U.S. economic system will no longer be rigged to support this country's 1% but instead foster the well-being of the 99%, President Obama will go forward with tepid enthusiasm from his "base."

Congress should focus on one issue per bill and all "riders" should be cogent to that bill. For instance, there should be no "riders" concerning medicare in a defense spending bill.

If you don't personally own stock in a publicly-traded corporation, then your pension fund probably does. When corporate directors approve obscene salaries and bonuses for their higher echelons, they are therefore robbing the rest of us. If you own your own company outright, then okay, pay yourself any amount you please. But if your company is publicly traded, there should be a legal limit to your compensation.

Amendment to the constitution specifying that freedom of speech is, and should be recognized as being a factor of our ability to have our voice heard. Therefore, wealthy individuals or corporations are infringing upon our freedom of speech by overwhelming it. The amendment would limit individuals total contributions to $100. It would limit the length of campaigns to 6 weeks. It would stipulate specific number of signatures to get on ballot. And, most importantly, it would stipulate that all news media provide specific amount of free campaign coverage.

Help for home owners living in homes that are currently worth less than what they paid for it.

A fox has been caught in the henhouse. The fox's name is James E. Rogers, yes the president of Duke Energy. He has been caught trying to sway the administration in Washington from putting any further carbon restrictions in place. See the article in the New York times of Aug. 15th.

As a Realtor, I have four (4) clients in the unfortunate position of chosing to short-sale their homes after attempts at modification failed. BOA offers this option to their clients but, makes the process so daunting with delay after delay and requesting the same information over & over & over again that the properties end-up in foreclosure anyway. After several months of the madness, one client lost the fight even though we had an offer to purchase about 3-weeks before the scheduled foreclosure. And now, after EIGHT (8) months it seems another client is about to be pushed to the same end; this time, we have FOUR offers to purchase. At this rate, there's almost no hope for the other clients. Help me to help others across America who find themselves facing the same run around!
